My Top 5 Favorite Plants in Zone 9b! :: PLUS Special Guest Jenny from Harmony Hills Home and Garden!

“To know someone here or there with whom you can feel there is understanding in spite of distances or thoughts expressed… That can make life a garden.” -Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Welcome! Today is such a fun video! I was talking to my friend Jenny from Harmony Hills Home and Garden YouTube the other day about, what else, gardening! We were talking about our favorite plants in each of our differing climates and thought doing a video that focused on our top 5 favorites would be fun so we can all see the differences between a zone 9B garden (mine) and a zone 7 garden (hers!) After watching my video, make sure you guys check out her YouTube channel to see all her top plants in her zone! (Link below!) 😊 Enjoy!

I searched up “flowers for 9b” and this came up—I immediately subscribed when you said you’re in NorCal too! It’s hard when I get sucked into a video only to realize they’re in a totally different part of the world.

Looking forward to more videos from you 🥰‼️

I was so excited to see Supertunia Bubblegums on your list! I’m also in zone 9 and I’m about to plant 24 pots of Bubblegums in my 2 front garden beds. The bubblegums have gotten so popular these days, I almost feel like a true gardener would kind of scoff at your garden if they saw a bunch of bubble gums, lol! I really went back-and-forth a lot this spring when choosing which Supertunia I was going to highlight in my garden this year. Last year I did the Vista snowdrifts, first time gardener, first garden beds ever, and I felt like a winner! Just like you said, it gave me such a boost of confidence and I felt like wow, maybe I do have a green thumb, ha ha! Every single one of my neighbors asked me what exact flower that was so they could go buy it for their garden. They were just so vigorous and beautiful and I think white is such a classic color. It was a beautiful backdrop to my sunshine ligustrum’s and Loropetalums. Loved all the color! But I finally just got to the point where I didn’t really care if everyone had the vista bubblegums. That’s what I wanted to plant and it’s my garden! They just arrived the other day and I’m super excited to get them in the ground. I’m just trying to get the whole irrigation thing worked out first. This is my first year doing the drip irrigation so that’s a whole challenge in itself! Great video! Love to hear about plants that thrive in my zone🌸🌸

That was so sweet!!!! I loved to see this collaboration and what beautiful choices.

The perennial flowers that always worked for me are the oleander and cape plumbago. The only thing that can kill them is neglect, but if you put in some effort, they can withstand anything!

[ElizabethM]

Great choices! You and Jenny are two of my favorite gardeners and I never miss your videos.

[kimgoodwin]

Those are all great choices Janey. I'm propagating my Mystic Spires this year to have more in the landscape. I have been a subscriber of Jenny's channel for a while now and was happy to see your collaboration. You are both such relatable gardeners and always fun to watch!

[karenkincaid]

The mystic spiral salvia are my favorite! They grow really well here in Florida!

I’m so glad I found your channel. I am also from zone 9b and yes I have a hard time growing hydrangeas but I have not tried growing limelight hydrangeas. I will definitely try to grow them. Thanks for the great suggestion.

[jorgecarrizalesjr]

I have two large Salvias you first mentioned and they bloom gorgeous purple year long. I'm in zone 9 in deep south texas so it gets way too scorching hot if in direct sun so we have them on the east side of the house to get only morning to noon sun and shade after. It is still gets enough brightness to continue thriving. Added mulch in it's xl clay pot and water them almost every other day.

[MrsMajorHoff]

So excited for this collaboration and to watch hers! You are killing it with all the new content you are putting out. I've been too nervous to try hydrangeas here in Texas. But they are one of my favs for sure! At least we can always depend on the salvias!

[littledonut]

I’m in 9b as well, so glad to find your channel.

[FunnySurpriseToys]

Nice sharing my friend! Thank you so much! 👍59

[NicoleSmithGardening]

Oh, I love this collab! Love both of your channels 💚 I absolutely love all of your choices (6k on the nose!)💚

[pamelakilgus]

good morning 😃 great video 👏👏👏 I also watch Jenny !! And my favorite plant you mentioned was …. Salvia ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️. I love them all 🥰 have a wonderful day friend 😍😍😍

[cocoshanel]

I absolutely agree your choices Janey, I’m in zone 9a Henderson NV. I love your channel.

[lustraveller]

Great idea, I really enjoyed this video! I have all of the plants you mentioned but I don't have the limelight hydrangea, I have numerous big leaf hydrangeas and a lace cap (yes, it's variegated!) and 2 different varieties of shasta daisy (I have trouble growing these). My 5 favs are pelargoniums, hydrangea, gardenia, pansy/viola, and hosta. There are so many others that I could easily add to the list. Stay cool today, my friend.

[conniejohnson]

Love your garden. You have worked very hard.

[Parin]

Thanks for sharing. I love this kind of video. My salvias are coming in👏
